Definition
强劲 (qiáng jìng) describes something strong, vigorous, and sustained in force or momentum — often used for wind, economic growth, or opposition. It emphasizes dynamic, robust power, unlike 强 (general 'strong'), 强大 (formidable might of entities), or 有力 (forceful effectiveness). It is less about physical body strength (强壮, 健壮).
